Evil Thoughts.

"We shall not be hanged for our
thoughts,U cries one. I wish that
such idle takers would remember that
they will be damned for their
thoughts; and that instead of evil
thoughts being less sinful than evil
acts, it may sometimes happen that in
the thought the man may be worse
than in the deed. He may not be able
to carry out all the mischief that turks
within his designs, and yet in forming
the design he may incur all the guilt:
Thoughts are the eggs of words and
actions, and within the thoughts he
compacted and condensed all the viii
lainy of actual transgressions. If men
did but more carefully watch their
thoughts, they would not 80 readily
fall into evil habits; but men first in
dulge the thought of evil, and then
the Imagination of evil; nor does the
process stay there. Picturing it before
their minds eye, they excite their own
desires after it, these grow into a
thirst and kindle into passion. Then
the deed is speedily forthcoming; it
was long in the Matching, but in a mo-
ment it comes forth to curse whole
lifetime. Instead of fancying that
evil thoughts are mere trifies, let us re-
member them as the root of bitterness,
the still in which the poisonous spirit
is manufactured. Our Savior put evil
thoughts first in the catalogue of evil
things: and he knew well their true
nature. If we would be lost we have
only to indulge these: if we would be
saved we must conquer these. Let us
make a conscience of our thoughts !;
he that doth not do so will not long
make q conscience of his words or
deeds.-Rev. G.. III. Spurgeom.

HOUSE AND FARM.
Helpful Hints.

Wash children's feet once a day in
pure tepid water, as the largest pores
of the system are located in the soles
of the feet, and these pores discharge
offensive refuse matter, which, if not
removed, is re-absorbed again.
CIothe a child's lower limbs, and the
feet especially, warmly. The fashion
that orders very short frocks and thin
underclothing is deadly and cruel.
Children's stockings should be chang
ed at least every other day, and sum
ned and aired daily.
A carpet can be mended by cutting
piece like the carpet, little larger
than the hole. Put paste around the
edge Of the patch, then slip it under
the carpet and rub it we'll with warm
iron until dry. If the figure is match
ed, it makes very neat job as we'll as
a quick one.
A hundred roots of the Snyder
blackberry will keep up the supply of
berries till autumn. This variety is
less liable to winter-kill than the Law
ton, and its berries are smaller, but
grow in great confusion. Blackberry
canes must be kept within bounds by
severe pruning. Plant them out two
in hill; four'feet each way.

Work and Play.

Ours is time when the young, at
least, think too much of recreation,
and devote too much of the real ener-
gies of their life to the strategy OF
amusement. To some extent the very
disinterested beneficence of the day
which has contrived so many pallla-
tives for the misery of the toilworn
classes, has lent countenance to the
prevalent notion that those who do
not enjoy their lives are defrauded of
their absolute rights, and has encour-
aged the young people of class which
has more than its share of the pleas
ures of life, to regard those pleasures
as their just inheritance. Yet nothing
can be more certain than that the liyes
which are pervaded by the belief that
the pursuit of happiness is the natural
and legitimate aim of men, are nelth-
er the noblest nor the happiest. The
lesson of renunciation, or the lesson OF
self-denial-what Matthew Arnold
calls "the secret of Jesus''-is, indeed,
the root of true cheerfulness, though
not, in this world, of absolute happi-
ness; and however good Sir John
Lubbock's teaching may be as to the
wisdom of embodying recreation in
the scheme of life, the justification OF
it lies not in the fact that pleasure is
one of the chief ends of man, but in
the fact that for the most part those
who play we'll work better than they
play, and could not work so we'll as
they do if they did not play also. 1t
is not that the pleasurable occupation
is the right one, because it is pleasure
BILE, but that the pleasurable occupa-
ton gives zest to the more arduous oc-
cupation, and lends to the enthusiasm
of labor something of the delightful
glow of conscious enjoyment.
There can not be said to be any duty
of happiness. It is a duty to make
others happy so far as we can do so
lawfully; it is a duty not to make
them unhappy by whining over our
troubles it is duty to put a cheerful
face on life; it is duty to enjoy the
blessings we have, and to show that
we are grateful for them but it is not
duty to be happy, for if it were, we
should be quite right in fleeing from
unhappiness as from absolute evil, and
in drowning in amusement all those
anhleIleS anu ulSCouteulS Will oui
selves, which it is of the highest i'm
portance to us to confront. The only
case in which it may be truly said that
it is duty to seek happiness, is where
we are fully convinced that certain
measure OF happiness will make us
stronger for our duties, just as a GER
tain measure of recreation makes US
stronger for our professional tasks.
The strong man can do with less hap.
piness than the weaker man but in
either case alike, the happiness which
it is duty to aim at is only so much
as is subservient to the higher work ot
life; and when all is said, the duty oi
happiness can never really compare
in its significance to human life, with
the happiness of duty.

COM MONS.
Responsibilities of Protestant Women
View Of what is Done by the
Sisters of Charity.

In warfare the enginery used by one
party compels the other party in the
use of the same, in order to prevent
certain defeat. When one uses rifles
the other must give up bows and ar
rows. If this side has artillery, mus
kerry will not suffice for that. If the
one has cavalry, the other must. A
better cause and greater bravery will
not avail anything when wooden ships
are opposed to ironclads.
Christ's soldiers have committed to
them a noble camp, to be maintained
against numerous and crafty foes. On
no battlefield IN the worlds history
did ever such momentous issues hang
in the balance of victory and defeat.
The armies of Rome, among their
agencies against their truth, have COM
missioned various orders of the Sisters
of Charity. There are the Sisters OF
st. Joseph, Sisters of Nazareth, Nuns
of the Sacred Heart, and others like
these, trained in preparatory schools
by the most rigid system, held by lr-
revocable vows of submission to their
superiors, and of conservation to their
work, knowing no amenities of social
life and rejecting all amusements.
They are simply Rome's female war
riors-a vast army, second in power to
that of the Jesuits only.
They are found in every cline.
They open schools everywhere, that
they may control the education of
their sex. They establish orphanages
and hospitals. They take the hand of
the friendless, that they may win
their confidence, and stand by the
sick and dying, that they may gain
their ear. They tread the streets OF
the cities alone, and enter without
scruple the houses of the rich and
poor. They shrink from no dangers.
When massacres break out in China
and India and syria, their names are
among the victims. The plague and
the cholera find them waiting in their
pathway. Two principles absorb their
whole being-devotion to Rome and
hatred to Protestants. They are in ap-
pearance all gentleness and meekness
and love. They win their way where
force could not. They undermine and
enter citadels where battlements
would be stormed in vain. For what
of sway the Pope holds over one hun
dred and eighty millions of the race,
he has much to thank those dark
robed, white-hooded devotees. Wo-
mans hand steadies the pillars of the
Vatican.
Dye Protestant sisters! Is not what
these do against Christ reason for
your working for Him? Will not wo-
mans love and woman's tenderness
and woman's conservation win way
for the Gospel where like influences
have won way for error. Know you
not that half the homes in the world
are barred to men, while all are oren
to you.
The Woman's Boards organized in
so many places are an answer to these
questions, but the response is not loud
enough; the conservation is not deep
enough. Rome has hundred Marys,
Marthas, and Rhodas,a and Salomes,
and Phebes, to one in Christ's army.
Think you Syria and Persia and China
would for months have appealed in
vain through the propaganda for fe-
male teachers as they have been doing
through our Boards?

A Word to Parents.

In one of the posthumous letters OF
the late DR.. S. I. Prime which are be-
ing published in the Ne1O York Oh
serve7 we found the following SEN
tence:
Through life the appreciation of
my parents has been one of the high
est incentives to energetic effort:
Next to the love of God l think l
have priced it above all other rewards
of diligence and success" These
words seem to us to be suggestive in
two directions. They apply to pa
rents. It ought to be the habit of pa
rents to give their children reasonable
appreciation. Encouragement, where
it is permissible, is vastly more effec-
tive than blame even where that may
be deserved. 1t is not we'll to expect
that children will take too much for
granted in this direction. Therefore
it is not enough to refrain from con-
demnation. Distinct condemnation
ought to be uttered Oh due grounds.
Then these words apply to children.
These sometimes forget that they have
no better earthly friends than their
parents. 1t is doubtful whether child
rem, even the older ones, realize how
deeply their parents are interested in
their welfare. This may be to some
extent, as Just intimated, the parents
fault. But it is true too often that
children do not confide in their par
ents as they might; do not seek init
macy with them; even hold their
opinions and wishes in light esteem.
A little fiattery from some outside par
ties they count as of more value than
the tender concern of father and mo-
ther. Happy the home where the pa
rents wisely appreciate their child
ren's good endeavors, and where the
children deem the appreciation of their
parents zone of the highest incentives
TO energetic effort. .n-India1 Witness.

Christian Giving and Christian Get
ting.

One of John Ingelow's later poems
tells the story of faithful and earnest
young minister who became thorough
ly discouraged because of the seeming
failure of his work among the very
poor. In spite of all he could dc, he
appeared to make little impression up
on squalor, drunkenness, sin, and
death. At length, in real experience
and in dreamland vision, he was made
to see that he had seemed to fail be-
cause he had come 70 think that the
whole world was sharply divided into
two classes: those who helped, and
those who received help; and that
these two classes never exchanged
members. He felt himself doer and
giver, entirely responsible for the wei
fare of those he aided, and, in fact, be.
longing to a different religious caste
The idea that he could learn, and re-
ceive benefit from, poor outcast child
rem or starving men, never entered bis
head /; nor did he stop to think thai
God, and not he, was responsible fol
things when man had done his best
Not until suffering and despondency
had cleared his mind, did he learn
that this is world of mutual helpful
ness and instruction, in which we
learn as we'll as teach, and receive
benefit from others as truly as we give
| it.

The present Estate House Muddle''
concerning the quality of the material
and work and the manner in which the
contracts have been awarded are said to
be of so serious nature that nothing
short of an investigation can show what
is right and what is wrong.
How much better it would have been
to continue the old substantial Assembly
House. Though it may not be applica-
BILE at some future day to say, "This man
began to build and was not able to fin
ish," yet the misfortunes that have
troubled and retarded the building, have
often brought to mind the scripture
Except the Lord build the house. they
labor in vain that build it." The State
House, after all the enormous cost (who
will ever know how much?) will not be
what was originally designed.
